    When I started, the highest weight I've seen on a scale was 327 lbs. I also went to the dr. once before that and wouldn't look but overheard a nurse say "349".... so, nope, not the only one :)

    You are far from the only one. When I started working at this I was 390. I am still over 300 at 330, but I feel amazing now and it gets better every day.

    I weigh 342 lbs… in the last month I have lost 9 lbs. It can be hard when it seems like everyone is smaller than me. The hardest part for me has been getting out and excercising.

    Just wondering if I am the only one here that is over 300 pounds in the united states. I am here wanting to lose weight. Wanting to get fit and to be a healthier, better person. Needing more motivation and inspiration. If you want to help me or work with me on this goal feel free to add me please! :-)

    I started at 308. You are definitely not alone!! Feel free to add me!

    I started at well over 350 and I'm in the 280's now and pretty darn excited about that. It feels good to wear smaller clothes or to fit into old stuff a lot better... or to have clothes so big you have to throw them out or donate them.... or to fit in a stadium seat. It's the little things :)

    NO NO!

    My highest weight was 318. January of last year I was down to 313.

    Taken me a long time to get off my butt again but now I'm down to 295.

    Only 125 lbs to go!

    To summarize the answers:

    No, you're not alone. Yes, you're in the right place :) There are people on this site who have lost 200 or more pounds on their journey. If you are persistent, you will achieve your goals. I'm not losing as fast as I had wanted, but I'm most definitely on my way to my goals. It's a marathon, not a sprint!
